National Collegiate Athletic Association's athletics program certification
process, the NCAA
announced last week. ASU's certification was made "without conditions."
Dr. Glen Jones, who led the campus self-study process said the positive result
of the certification
process will
"accentuate the commitment of our student athletes, the quality manner in which
the athletics program is operated, and the continuing role of intercollegiate
athletics in supporting the mission of Arkansas State University."
